Promoting Public Access to High-Quality Information and Analysis

Here at DataHaven, we support community action and decision-making by working directly with policymakers, major institutions, foundations, and local residents. Our nationally-recognized work advances the use of high-quality, local-level information across a wide variety of issue areas.

The DataHaven website is our home for frequently-requested public resources, such as published documents, maps, neighborhood and Connecticut town profiles, and our own reports. We will continue to add resources to this site as our staff time allows, and are open to working with partners to add new features.

DataHaven provides comprehensive services such as report writing and design, data analysis, address geocoding and mapping, survey design and collection, and assistance with grantwriting or needs assessments. You can access some examples of our work in the reports section of our website.

DataHaven also provides free technical assistance and training to hundreds of area agencies, organizations, researchers, and journalists each year. Please visit our technical assistance page for more information.

The DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey

One of our core programs is the DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey. The program conducted in-depth interviews with nearly 17,000 Connecticut and New York residents in 2015, making it one of the largest well-being surveys in the United States. The program is being repeated in 2018. It focuses on topics that are most meaningful to our communities, including physical and mental health, economic opportunity, housing, transportation, and civic engagement. Most of these results can be compared across diverse regions, neighborhoods, and small population groups as well as to national benchmarks.

Survey results can be accessed publicly on our website or upon request. Detailed analyses of survey data can be time-intensive, and in some cases may require a fee-for-service contract, partnership, and/or data sharing agreement.
